I met Chris when he came to me for physical therapy in June 2022. Immediately, I was excited to work with him. His background in research meant our sessions were filled with discussions regarding statistics, physics and biomechanics. He always challenged me for the evidence to support the crazy interventions I made him participate in. During the fall, I would always ask him about whether his beloved Denver Broncos were going to win their next game - his response was always unexpected.
When I heard of Chris's passing, I thought of his adorable nieces that he would always tell me about, his love for NA beers at Nordic brewing, and his passion for his research and expertise in his field. Wherever he is at, I hope he is enjoying the endless winding roads for biking and the perfect powder for cross country skiing. he was loved and cherished to no end.
Thank you for sharing this with us, Nichole. It means so much.
